Who would have thunk it? That the peak fall colors would be in early November in Yosemite?

Luck was with us – after visiting New Hampshire near peak in October, we were blessed with the golden colors of fall in Yosemite.

No, the leaves are not as colorful as New England which has color ranging from yellows, to oranges, rusts and reds. BUT in the early morning and late afternoon the yellows and golds pop out of the dark woods in the valley.

They also glow in the reflections in the water.

Color and light…. but its really all about the light.
